Full-Fat Dairy vs. Low-Fat Dairy…Is One Better than the Other? Which Should You Choose?

When shopping for cheese, milk, and yogurt, which is better for you?

Full-fat dairy?

Or low-fat or non-fat dairy?

These are questions I get from my clients, who often feel totally overwhelmed with making the “best” choices when they’re at the grocery store.

If you haven’t read my article, “Is Dairy Healthy? And Should You Switch to a Plant-Based Milk?” then read that first and then come back here. It will give you a thorough understanding of the science behind why you should (or shoudn’t?) be consuming dairy…

But once you decide to have milk, cheese, and yogurt, which type do you choose?

Fat-free? Skim?

1%? 2%?

4 %? Whole milk?

And why?

Let’s take a look at what the research is currently showing so that you can make the best decision for you 😊

Is Saturated Fat Bad for You?

I also remember eating SnackWell’s Fat-Free Devil’s Food Cookies after dinner with my Dad.

And my parents limiting the amount of bacon we had each week…

Why?

Because fat was the enemy.

And saturated fat was Public Enemy #1.

So what’s the deal?

Is fat, and more specifically saturated fat, bad for you?

Or is it good for you?

I thought we’d uncover what the latest research is showing, in hopes to get a clear answer on if we’re choosing to eat fat (or not) based on current science.
